DesignWare Ethernet MAC 10/100/1000 Universal

The Synopsys DesignWare® Ethernet MAC 10/100/1G Universal Core enables the host to communicate data using the Gigabit Ethernet protocol (IEEE 802.3). The Ethernet MAC 10/100/1G Universal Core is composed of three main layers: The Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller (GMAC), the MAC Transaction Layer (MTL), and the MAC DMA Controller (MDC). The MTL is highly configurable enabling optimum performance supporting a wide range of implementations based on end-system applications. A multitude of application interfaces are supported as well for easy SoC integration. Silicon proven and designed for easy integration into ASICs and FPGAs the DesignWare 10/100/1000 Universal MAC comes with a user friendly application interface so designers can easy set their functional and implementation objectives to meet design requirements. The core is verified using state of the art methodologies to reduce risk. This includes the RTL design, verification, hardware verification and interoperability tests.
